The other day I was watching TV when an ad came on for a collection of hymns and gospel songs. Out of boredom I decided to see how many had titles that could be misinterpreted by a dirty mind. I can’t remember most of them now because of _one_ that as soon as I saw it made me laugh for twenty minutes:

“Come thou, Oh Mighty King”. 😃

This is extra fun if you do the old fortune cookie trick of adding “…in bed” to each title.

A Mormon pointed this out to me and suggested their favorite hymn, “Come, Come Ye Saints.”  
Hee hee.
